Read more Originally appeared on Alchemists: Articles. htmx Infinite Scroll Pagination is always a feature you have to tackle in web application development in one form or another. A common approach is to use a gem, like Pagy, to provide the following capabilities: Load records in batches (a.k.a. pages). Previous and next links. Numbered links to specific pages. Bookmarkable links complete with browser history. Definitely useful to decrease server load since you’re only loading a small subset of records per request. The problem with this approach is: Most people bail after reading through the first couple of pages and not finding what they want. Includes a lot visual information, design-wise, that not only consumes… We can do better. With infinite scrolling, we… Show less

An authenticated attacker with host creation or update permissions could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious username for the BMC interface. This could lead to remote code execution (RCE) on the system. Show less

Someone noticed a bug on the playground and reported it. This small act by them made me feel like I’m actually making a difference with this project. The thing that makes me chuckle about this bug report is that they’re focussing on the missing y call on the Vector2 but mention nothing about the clearly broken background drawing. I’m very thankful for this report though, I have fixed both of these issues but I’m still not sure how to tackle keeping regressions like this from happening automatically. Jumpy Alien I got Jumpy Alien updated for Taylor v0.4.1. This was mostly the change around Texture2D#draw no longer defaulting the origin to the centre of the image and instead puts it back at Vector2[0, 0] to make it work like nearly every other #draw function. I did some gameplay improvements too. The pipes now spawn at random heights Player gravity tweaked Pipe movement speed tweaked Exit button now works If your browser doesn't support the video tag, you can download the video. The main menu is shown before going into play the game. Once playing the player gets a score of three before crashing into a pipe and seeing the end screen showing their high score of 3. Community Site Now that I got warden working with Hanami I’ve decided to go back to my Rails implementation of the community site. While I’ve enjoyed Hanami I’m looking to have a high velocity with this so sticking with tooling I know is going to be better. I will absolutely revisit Hanami later as I liked a lot of the decisions they’ve made and found it a great experience. Going back to an old codebase always means I get to do one of my favourite things, upgrading libraries! I’m not even kidding, I get a lot of pleasure out of bumping gems and doing Rails upgrades. So now it’s running on Rails 8.1. I decided to take it a step further though and rewrite the entirety of the erb templates I was using into Phlex. I find using Phlex a much nicer experience than writing erb templates. Show less

It’s a great way to get SPA-like interactivity at a fraction of the complexity. In this article, we’ll explore how we can use Turbo 8’s morphing, the view transitions API, and a sprinkle of Stimulus to create a smooth, interactive experience with minimal code. We’ll see how these t... Show less
